Preacher could you save my soul?
I've been on some roads in my car alone.
Preacher could you save my soul?
Got the scares of where they say Ill go.

A runaway train man,
is gona teach you how to pray now.
Yeah if I make it out alive,
I've got to play it back to my life.

April sister got her man
He comes from a rockin band.
If she wants to marry him, no
Shes gotta tell it to her mother.

Thats true,
oh how could you replace me,
theyre throwing roses from the balcony.
Well theyre falling in the aisles now
Rose me!

Why cant you hold me?
Why cant you save me?
Now preacher why cant you reach me?
Oh no (something)
Why cant you make me?
Why cant you break me?
Now preacher why cant you preach me?
Gotta know.. oh no no

Latin music cadillacs
Trash can gambling Gangs
The pentacostal on the block
Official today

I was on the corner just having a cig
A hand from the sky put my dice away
It wasnt good for me (get the dice outta way)
I KNOW, Had to throw them all any number face

Thats true,
But I cant even stand up.
So many wonderful people here.
Theyre all dumb enough
to play their dreams
Yeah ill take her with me!

Why cant you hold me?

Why cant you save me?
Now preacher why cant you reach me?
Why cant you make me?
Why cant you break me?
Now preacher why cant you preach me?
Gotta know, oh no no..

(interlude)
I asked once of a poor preacher I knew
What was it like to live and to have someone ask me of for you
he said my friend theyre just coming up through life
been doing it all their lives
they just saw me but you know
that they loved me too

Faith is retrospective now,
Youll only know if it was true in your head.
Some guys like having a purpose
its ok when they care

Preacher could I save your soul?
Do you know every single thing I know?
Year preacher could I save your soul?
I know its stupid but its happened before.

Year preacher could I pray to god.
Can not stand when theyre losing heart.
Oh preacher now what do you say?
Is it now ok to pray that way?

Oh preacher could you save my soul?
Ive got it packed all ready to go.
Yeah preacher could you save my soul?
(something)

Preacher could I pray to god?
(something) always losing heart
Oh preacher now what do you say?
(something)
